Choose a hoist with the capacity for the job. Know the
capacities of your hoists and the weight of your loads.
Then match them.
All hoists should be visually inspected
before use, in addition to regular, periodic
maintenance inspections.
Inspect hoists for operations warning
notices and legibility.
Deficiencies should be noted and brought
to the attention of supervisors. Be sure
defective hoists are tagged and taken out
of service until repairs are made.
Under no circumstances should you
operate a malfunctioning hoist.
Check for gouged, twisted, distorted
links and foreign material. Do not operate
hoists with twisted, kinked, or damaged
chain links.
Load chain should be properly lubricated.
Hooks that are bent, worn, or whose
openings are enlarged beyond normal
throat opening should not be used. If
latch does not engage throat opening of
hook, hoist should be taken out of service.
Chains should be checked for deposits of
foreign material which may be carried into
the hoist mechanism.
Check brake for evidence of slippage
under load.
Be sure hoist is
solidly held in the
uppermost part of
the support hook arc.
Be sure hoist and load are in a
straight line. Do not pull at an angle.
Be sure load is hooked securely. Do not
tip load the hook. Do not load hook latch.
Hook latch is to prevent detachment of
load under slack chain conditions only. Do not operate with hoist head
resting against any object. Lift the
load gently. Do not jerk it.
Do not lift co-workers with
a hoist.
Make sure everyone is clear
of the load when you lift.
Do not remove or obscure
operational warning notices.
CLEANING
Hoists should be kept clean and free
of dust, dirt, moisture, etc., which will
in any way affect the operation or
safety of the equipment.
LUBRICATION
Chain should be properly lubricated.
AFTER REPAIRS
Carefully operate the hoist before
returning it to full service.
The application, the size and type of
load, the attachments to be used
and the period of use must also be
taken into consideration in selecting
the right hoist for the job. Remember, the hoist was designed to
ease our burden and carelessness not
only endangers the operator, but in
many cases, a valuable load.
